Spring Blooms

Our garden has come alive over the past few weeks with lovely pink, red, and orange blooms across our yard. Over the weekend, I finally made a trip to the nursery and picked up some seedlings (four kinds of basil, more kale, aloha gem lettuce, lemongrass, edamame, lemon balm, catnip, lemon and strawberry mint, red and green bell peppers, and a yellow pepper for pickling (for Nick)). Not much this time around — because once this baby comes we won’t have time to tend the beds…

A shot of the tiny house and garden cottage.The brussels sprouts on the right weren’t behaving — this bed is now empty.These are quickly growing all over our front yard — I love the way they look.Freshly planted red strawflowers — they feel like paper.The lemon verbena is back! Looking forward to tea time.These are getting pretty tall…Pink blossoms!Strawberries from a few days ago.Some violas from one of the raised beds.
